Presenting Villgro Fellowship 2010

[KANNA KUMAR SIRIPURAPU]

Ready to make a difference?

Rural India needs ideas that can deliver inclusive, eco-friendly and sustainable prosperity. A handful of individuals – better known as social entrepreneurs – are making that difference by blurring the boundaries between business and social good. These individuals stand out for their vision, purposefulness, passion, leadership, innovativeness, risk taking ability, and persistence.

If you are one such path-breaker in the making, you need to have a space to hone those instincts, a live laboratory that will help you sharpen your abilities. Above all, you need an opportunity to prepare yourself to launch your dream venture.

Established in the year 2001, Villgro is a not for profit company empowering rural development by actively identifying and incubating innovations that have the potential to cause social impact on rural markets. In its effort to impact rural life, Villgro actively promotes social entrepreneurship and works with different stakeholders to create and support an eco-system that empowers social entrepreneurship by means of seed funding, mentoring, networking and recognition. Villgro has impacted over 360,000 rural users with technology & solutions reaching the grassroots. Villgro has identified and activated more than 2,000 social innovators.

Villgro in association with the Rockefeller Foundation, presents the Villgro Fellowship, a 10-month program designed to equip individuals who dare to follow their dreams and to help build a prosperous rural India.
